Only reason not to be excited is because of what could have been. Once you get past that and the fact were in Atlanta again, people should realize it's a great matchup. That said, I expect it to be much like LSU vs GT 2009.

The bowl isn't bad at all. It's the Peach Bowl.

And BCS bowls this year don't mean a thing at all considering teams like Northern Illinois, Louisville, and 5 loss Wisconsin are playing in BCS games. BCS games mean absolutely nothing this year because of the rules saying the best teams aren't allowed to go.

So this year, it's all about the match-ups. Because based on accomplishments, there are several teams that should be playing in BCS games that aren't. LSU, Georgia, and Texas A&M. Maybe even South Carolina.

I want to see us torch Clemson - go for the throat and don't let up. Hope the team comes out fighting - it's like the start of next season and can send a message that we are as good as anyone in the country.

I'm pumped for this match up. Not the greatest bowl, but a great place to play and one of the better match ups. Chavis won't take long to figure out their game plan and they probably won't be able to stop our run game.

It has nothing to do with Clemson being undeserving of playing LSU. It has more to do with LSU deserving to play against Oklahoma, or wanting to play against Michigan. Let us act like kids who didn't get exactly what we wanted for Christmas. The disappointment will pass. And the less that is made of it the sooner it will pass. (Damn another Oklahoma reference.)
